What is your security setup these days?

What slow? Isn't it already so fast?

 

We had it plugged in AC power and booted up the little green mark on the B in the tray was gone.I opened the UI and see user mode.I understand when its unplugged from the AC power it goes in laptop Mode with a little brown mark on the B in the tray icon.

The updates was adobe flash with IE9 as default or Comodo Dragon as default.It made a 7 percent install then stop and within 10 seconds or so time out error.

 

I always manually update my Flash player. I highly doubt BD was interferring with that but did you try adding it the exclusions?

 

I was manually updating.It could have been blocking it but if it did there was no events saying so.when I got around to it I will do Clean image of windows with no third party security and reinstall BD.Not giving up on it yet as I really like BD.Maybe this weekend I will try a fresh windows and BD.

 

Downloading OA to install it. It's been like 5 months since i last used OA.

 

Ok, I installed Sandboxie, but left the settings untouched on Avast, everything A-OK so far, does not seem to be any conflicts with Avast or ExploitShield beta 0.7, can always change things around if I have to, hey, thanks for the tip, owe you a beer, lol.....

 

I usually download Flash Player from MajorGeeks,FileHippo or Softpedia. I download the full installs right from any of those sites. Its easier and faster. I visit them daily so I am well aware of ANY updates before they are even released automatically.

"A true geek stays well informed".

 

welcome back you defector ! LOL

 

I agree with that 100%, prevention is always better than cure.

 

Well I defected again. I'm in no-AV country now

 

Welcome to the Sandboxie club zitch.

Make sure the software compatibility setting for Avast in Sandboxie has a check mark on it. That setting is there to make both programs get along better. To avoid probable conflicts, its better to disable the Avast sandbox but I ll guess theres no harm leaving settings untouched unless something actually happens.

Back to Bitdefender and My Bad it was from removing charger before shut down - you where spot on about the automatic laptop mode.All I had to do was disable auto laptop mode for the autopilot. - Duh.

 

Of course I was right. Lol. After installing any software I always take time to read the help guides and learn every feature.

 

FileHippo, download Comodo firewall version 3.0.25.378.......its the last version available without D+ and does not conflict with other programs, newer versions certainly will, it seems that all companies want their programs to conflict with others, so that you will use "the total package"....this older version is still much better than any other firewall out there, and includes the antivirus quickscan

 

thanks zitch for the info

 

EAM + OA no longer slowdowns my startup, not sure if it's due to my CPU or because they improved their compatibility but i feel no lag when the PC is booting up. (A few months ago when i had both installed it did slowed down my startup a bit but not anymore)

 

These days all GNU distros are crap. Arch is better than almost every other though.

 

Arch is my favorite linux distro. I really like it. Even without an DE its usable

 

uninstalled Trend Micro and installed Avira AV . Runs smooth and nice

 

Bitdefender AV on two netbooks running smooth as a swiss movement watch and AppGuard is not crying about sheering space with BD.Anything that fights with AppGuard gets the recycle Bin.

 

What do you mean?

 

Wow. How did you come to find that out? That's kind of a bold statement. Even if it's your opinion. There are a ton of distro's all of them aren't crap. Mint and openSuSe aren't crap. THere are millions of users that don't think ubuntu is crap. Come on now.

 

VirusTotal has a file size limit of 32 MB.

 

Yeah I don't understand that either. Mint was good, I'll take a look at openSuSe. Any others you'd recommend?

 

If you use VT to check for virus in downloaded files, you have to upload these files, right?
